So I was talking with my sister a while ago and she brought up something I found quite amusing. Apparently she said something along the lines of her not being Asian enough, and she doesn’t have the “aura”…On the other hand, apparently she said I do, lol. Weird thing is though, I hardly know any [...]
Shanghai Kiss is a romantic comedy that came out in 2007 as a direct to dvd movie. The main character is Liam Liu(Ken Leung). Two other important characters are Adelaide Bourbon(Hayden Panettiere) and Micki Yang(Kelly Hu). This is a movie about Liam Liu, a Chinese American, who grows up trying to live the American dream [...]
If you are Asian, chances are when you are having an alcoholic beverage, your face or whole body starts to turn red (This happens mostly to just Asians and not Pacific Islanders from what I understand). This what people refer to as the “Asian Glow”. When this happens, “those that don’t know” consider that [...]
I watched this the following day after it came out in theaters (04/26/2008). I wasn’t expecting to much due to the general trend of sequels sucking majorly. To my surprise however, it was funny and I enjoyed it! I am still debating on whether it is better than White Castle, but at least I thought [...]
Of course when Goofy Asians are procrastinating around on the internet, they tend to “goto” strange”places. Places which, if they are at work at the time and the network is being monitored as well, would set off red flags…and no, it’s not always porn, LoL.
The Why: Little explanation is needed or rather, there’s not [...]

Witness things you may have never seen before or would’ve thought of being in Japan…or be completely unsurprised (in that case, damn)! Either way, expect some great pictures from Nihon!
In this part [...]
Such fleeting beauty. The National Cherry Blossom Festival ended last weekend, signaling the end of the blossoms. My friend and I headed to D.C. to check out the 2008 Sakura Matsuri, a street festival that usually starts after the end of the Cherry Blossom Parade and stretches across a couple blocks in the heart of [...]
Goofy Asians is doing an articles series called “Stuff Goofy Asians Like”. Similar to this website, but on a more extreme goofy level, these articles will feature some of the things which Goofy Asians like…and who better to describe this then us!
If you’ve been with us for a while, then surely you [...]
“Asian” is a broad umbrella term. About 60% of the world’s population are Asians. One needs to reconsider then, how accurate are these charts and graphs that discuss the “socialeconomic” success of Asians? The Chicago Tribune has written an article about how Southeast Asians are having a hard time dealing with the pressures of academics [...]
Ok, this topic was bound to appear here. To give a brief explanation to those unaware of the term, a model minority is a certain minority within the population which excels, in terms of success and achievement, than other minorities (for a clearer understanding, click here). In this context we can consider the population, America [...]
